Electric heat therapy technique and instrument

ABSTRACT

An electric heat therapy instrument has an electric ampere controller  1  connected by two outside electric wires  2  to a 110-v electric outlet. The handle tube  3  is joined in its inferior extreme to a heating tube  9 . A 110-v, 20-w bulb  6  is putting on the bulb socket  5  inside of the heating tube  9 . To conserve the heating tube  9  temperature level and avoid the heat expansion to the handle tube  3 , I invent a technique to cut the expansion of the heat in a metal material, it consists in making horizontal and round holes  7  around the top of the heating tube  9.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] 1. Field of the Invention

[0005] This invention relates generally to heat therapy, including heattherapy technique and instrument for its application. This invention isclassified as a utility invention according to the United State PatentClassification.

[0006] 2. Prior Art

[0007] Historically, heat has been a natural remedy used both to relievepain and enhance the recovery process. By increasing the temperature ofthe skin surface and underlying tissues, heat stimulates thethermoreceptors-sensory receptors that respond to heat and cold—whichthen help block transmissions of pain signals to the brain. Thistranslates into a significant decrease of discomfort. Heat therapyincreases blood flow, which helps to decrease stiffness, relaxes soremuscles, and provides soothing comfort. Many thermotherapy techniquesand instrument are based on hot water and hot air as heating medium.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0008] This invention provides a technique and apparatus based on heattherapy, which are more convenient, secure and efficient, because of itsstructure and heating medium.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] The Technique

[0023] One can manage easily the instrument oneself. To handle theinstrument, one take it by the handle tube 3, which is cold and safe tohandle, because, even the handle tube 3 is joined in its inferiorextreme to the heating tube 9, but the heat can't expand to the handletube 3. One should cover the skin area with a piece of cloth to avoiddirect contact with the heating tube 9, which is hot. The person usingthe instrument can control the temperature applicated to the skin bymoving the heating tube 9 in al directions, by pressing or relieving theheating tube against the skin, or staying in the same surface area toincrease to the desired and tolerable temperature.

[0024] The invention has two applications:

[0025] 1) Firstly, one can use the instrument to enhance body bloodflow, by massaging the heating tube 9 in the internal side of the armsand the internal side of the legs, where we can find the main orprincipal blood vessels to the arms and thighs.

[0026] 2) The other application consists in relieving muscular spasm,resolution of inflammatory infiltrated, pain relief, by applicatingheating tube 9 to the skin of the problem area.

[0027] The Invention

[0028] The electric heat therapy instrument has an electric amperecontroller 1 connected by two outside electric wires 2 to a 110-velectric outlet. The electric ampere controller 1 is located in a cage10 in the top of the handle tube. Two inside electric wires 4, foundinside of the handle tube 3 protected by heat shrinkable productresisting 180° C., connect the electric ampere controller to a bulbsocket 5. A 110-v, 20-w bulb 6 is putting on the bulb socket 5. The bulbproduces high heat in the heating room 8 and heats the heating tube 9.To conserve the heating tube 9 temperature level and avoid the heatexpansion to the handle tube 3, I invent a technique to cut theexpansion of the heat in a metal material, it consists in makinghorizontal and round holes 7 around the top of the heating tube 9.

I claim:
 1. A localized heat therapeutic technique for enhance bodyblood flow to promote good health and for treating a problem area in thebody of a patient underlines a limited skin area without injury the skinarea, the technique comprising the steps of: A. Applicating the heattube to the inside of arms and thighs, covering the skin area with apiece of cloth to avoid heating tube direct contact and injury to theskin area. B. Moving the heat tube to different directions forcontrolling the temperature level and increase the therapy area. C.Pressing the heat tube against the skin area to increase the temperatureto the underlying tissues for a better therapy effect. D. Applicatingthe heat tube to specific problem area, transmitting the heat to saidarea to increase the temperature level and therapeutic effect.
 2. Atechnique as set forth in claim 1, wherein said heating from heatingtube, the heat is produced by a 110-v, 20-w bulb inside the heatingroom, and absorb the heat energy by the heating tube, said heating tubemay made by any metal material.
 3. A technique as set forth in claim 1,wherein said skin area is covered by a piece of cloth.
 4. A technique asset forth in claim 2 wherein said heating tube temperature generating bya 110-v, 20-w bulb is conserving an avoid heat expansion to the handletube is obtained by making horizontal and round holes around the top ofthe heating tube.
 5. A technique as set forth in claim 2 wherein saidheating tube temperature generating by a 110-v, 20-w bulb, said bulb iscontrolling by an electric voltage controller located in a cage in thetop of the handle tube.
 6. An instrument created to therapeuticallytreat a problem in the body of a patient in a limited skin area and topromote good health, said instrument comprising: A. Means to control andgenerate heat temperature. B. Means to handle and transfer said heattemperature to located skin area in the body.
 7. An instrument as setforth in claim 6, wherein the electric voltage control is located in acage, which cage is in the top of the handle tube.
 8. An instrument asset forth in claim 7, wherein the electric voltage control is connectedto the bulb socket by two electrics wires, those electrics wires areinside the handle tube and protected by heat shrinkable productresisting 180° C. temperature.
 9. An instrument as set forth in claim 6,wherein the handle tube is a stainless tube.
 10. An instrument as setforth in claim 8 wherein the bulb socket is located in the inferiorextreme of the handle tube, and has a 110-v, 20-w bulb.
